Heat the milk and keep it warm on the stove.
- Milk: 1 l

Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan and sauté the rice until translucent. Pour in the wine and let it evaporate. Start adding milk one ladle at a time (do not add the next portion until the previous one is absorbed by the rice). After 15 minutes of cooking, add vanilla sugar and taste the rice: it usually cooks for about 17 minutes to al dente. Once the rice has the desired texture, remove the pan from heat, add the remaining butter and grated white chocolate. Cover with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes.
